Heart of the Sun — Mia Sheridan

From mega-bestseller and TikTok sensation Mia Sheridan comes an all-new epic second-chance romance with an unexpected and gritty speculative twist.

Tuck and Emily grew up together in their neighboring California orange groves and nearly gave their hearts to each other, but life pulled them apart and set them on very different paths. Now, thirteen years later, stubborn, sunny Emily is a pop star and brooding Tuck is an ex-con in need of a job. When Emily hires him to be her bodyguard, they naturally butt heads, even as both try to ignore the heat rekindling between them.

When a massive solar flare hits Earth, knocking out the electrical grid and all satellites, the world changes forever instantly. Tuck and Emily are forced to come together to fight for their lives and find a new place in this postapocalyptic world -- one where everything Emily has worked so hard for has crumbled, but also one where Tuck can start over and maybe even thrive.

Heart of the Sun is a bull's-eye Mia Sheridan new adult romance with a postapocalyptic backdrop that tests the characters to be their better selves. Think: Carley Fortune's Every Summer After meets Station Eleven.
